Lind had been in isolation for nearly a month when Tal barged in.
"Papa!" Her tiny fingers were covered in bright colors and he could smell a lot of perfume on her but it was a chaotic mix of subtle to overt scents that nearly made him sneeze. She was teary eyed with dark pupils watering at him in supplication.
"TAL! COME BACK HERE NOW!" Kora's voice echoed outside and he smirked for some reason as he signaled Tal to come over to him. She happily complied and he quickly used his water and earth Qi to clean her up.
Aether beasts only assumed a human form, their characteristics were entirely up to the individual. The rocs tended towards fairly tall but essentially human bodies, but Tal's body was still very touch like her natural body.
Thus, earth Qi was very effective in removing the apparent makeup and perfumes. Her hair was dark gray like her clothes but he washed her up roughly as he would when she was a beast form.
